I am 4 days post op and I'd have to say that it's amazing how much air we swallow, even normally. Everyday it gets more tolerable for me.

Has anyone had surgery with Dr. Lopez Corvala at Angeles Hospital? I was surprised that I have not seen his name mentioned at all. From my research, he sounds pretty impressive. Is this orum sponsered by certain drs. Is that why? Anyways if anyone has had gastric sleeve or any other procedure with Dr. Lopez Corvala in Tijuana at Angeles Hospital, I would LOVE to hear about your experience. Thank you!

Live in Spring, TX and will hopefully be having RNY in January. I see Dr. Howard in The Woodlands and will be having surgery at Houston Northwest. Anyone else from this area?

It is finally here! My surgery day is today! Gotta be to the hospital by 1pm! I have already prayed for a good outcome! One of my support systems will drive me to the hospital, one will meet me there! Hubby will be there as soon as he gets off work! Everything's moving right along! Phase 2 of my new healthier lifestyle begins!!

Hi Mickie0130, which memoria Hermann did you have your surgery? I'm having mine there too

Good luck

I was approved today too! Best of luck on your journey [emoji4][emoji4]

Dr. Corvala is one of the great grandfathers of weight loss surgery! He taught many of the bariatric surgeons in Mexico as well as proctored many US surgeons back in the day. He's very highly respected and you're in fantastic hands. Please let us know how things go!

The three most important elements after gastric bypass surgery are to meet your daily Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirements. food is secondary because your body is converting your stored fat into the energy that drives your body. Thus you lose weight. Be willing to experiment. After surgery, my taste buds changed dramatically. Even Water changed. In the hospital it tasted excessively chlorinated and I could not drink it. So I experimented. sugar free popsicles became my best friend. Some individuals find hot or cold can help with fluids. For me, I found that I could tolerate flavored water. So I began using Crystal Light. I also found a new drink Bai which I liked cold. In the winter, I found that I tolerate Hot drinks such as piping hot cocoa. But you have to use the "No Sugar Added" variety. Also fine English teas were very good. Your fluid requirement can also be met by the water component of Soups and by the water/milk use in making your Protein shakes. What concerns me about your thread, is that you indicated that whenever you drink, you experience pain. This is not normal. Pain is normally an indicator that your body feels something is wrong. Therefore this issue should be discussed with your surgeon's office.

Great, congrats on your weight loss!! I never heard Adipex, is it a diet pill?
